I only just realised today, after the first lecture, that mid-semester break starts next week for this place... I must be going a bit batty ... (: I had a test this afternoon ... data flow diagrams and a programming exercise... can I ask a question now? Why is it that I've had problems getting the program to work when I mix pointer notation with array notation for what amounts to be the same thing? And, why can't I get strcpy () to work? Well, not when I wanted it to work ... I thought I had enough of a grip on pointers to get what I was doing in the test ... hey, if you know what you're doing the code just falls out... the test was programming step by step ... follow instructions and you get your program ... so why didn't strcpy work, and why did the linked list fall over? I probably didn't test for the right condition ... I didn't get my book back til after the test but then again I didn't *really* need it ... Ahh well, I'll get a copy of it off the computers at uni and get it working here... I had a link verifying that the Nostradamus email doing the rounds is a hoax... but I can't find it... which is really annoying... cos I deleted it already... silly Hotmail decided to crash on me while I was processing things... basically it was saying that the Nostradamus thing was written by someone else as an example of how really vague things could be made to sound plausible ... nevermind that Nostradamus died before that *quatrain* was written... which ended up not being much of a quatrain after so many lines were added to it as embellishment... so I'll give you a different link instead... go find out your alignment ... or go learn to pick a lock ...

Owwwww.... I can't be getting old so quickly... we won tennis tonight... it wasn't much to do with how I played cos I played awful ... and I fell over lots cos I was brain-tired ... and now I have sore muscles and sore joints and bruises everywhere cos I fell over, and cos I hit myself with Octavia after a particularly bad shot ... Ahh well I'll do it all again in a few weeks time... School holidays have hit us and I didn't even realise ... When is this mid-semester break thing that we all talk about? This weekend past has been a fairly busy one... went to Anglesea for the wedding ceremony of one of Decay's workmates ... the reception was held at Sladen House ... it was a really lovely wedding ... the bride and groom made the effort to personalise the whole day ... Decay found this link today, and I've been reading it all day... at least I'm not a zombie ... or I'd need some brains to devour... is that what zombies eat? It wasn't something the connected with my consciousness immediately... but I guess they do eat brains.... like vampires drink blood, and like how sand flows through the hourglass... speaking of hourglasses, I haven't figured out why grandma watches the programs she does ... today it was Days of Our Lives ... she likes Jerry Springer as well.. it gets scary when she laughs at what's on TV when it's Jerry though ... I think the point of this bit is about how Grandma didn't realise what was going on with the whole terrorist thing - she saw the images on the television, but didn't know where it was or what was happening really... she was ringing up my mum to ask her where all this fighting was happening... I really should get some sleep... I've been tired all day and I'm going to need to wake up relatively early in the morning... I don't like Tuesdays very much for this reason ...

Awww... you people are so kewl ! I want to say a HUGE thank-you for all the emails, phone calls, SMSes (not to my phone, but to *his* phone), card (thanks Net!), hugs, congratulatory word-type things that you people (you know who you are...) have given us... It puts more happy smiley things on my face that I know I got a big pile of friends who are happy too (: Here's a hug for everyone ... I actually got this link a while ago, from the Annals of the Chicken Drumstick (Hi dude !) ... it has to do with toasters ... I don't remember linking this yet so you can have it now as the link du jour... I really should get back to uni ... but I gotta finish my raspberry cordial first! T&R Mania!!!

Can I say umm.... crap? Stuff like aeroplanes crashing into buildings isn't *supposed* to happen ... not in real life... it's stuff for movies... and then there's supposed to be some sort of Bruce Willis-type person who averts the crisis and everyone lives happily ever after... it's not *supposed* to happen once... nevermind 4 times ... Last night, all I wanted to do was to hug, to be held by Decay ... it just freaks me out that there are people who could think that this could solve problems... Um... HELLO, you've just ended the lives of a fair whack of people ... you're NOT meant to be enjoying this, ok? We're not meant to be made to feel so helpless ... My thoughts and condolences are with everyone who has been affected in any way by the events of the last 24 hours... it's not the kind of thing you'd wish upon anyone... It's hard to do a happy post today when all I can wonder is what is wrong with people (?) today... What goes on in their minds to make them think ... what a great idea, let's go and crash some planes ...? Since when did people have to hate other people purely based on their differences?

Ok, I've calmed down now ... I've answered all the emails that came in before 3pm (I think!), and I'll have a go at whatever came after then when I get back from tennis and finish coding that assignment thingy that I've been trying to do all weekend... It's pretty much done ... I just have to fill in the gaps ... but it's more fun getting the emails! Got the exam timetable today... first exam is so much earlier than the second and third exams... which are way after the wedding Decay and I are attending ... his cousin's wedding... we'll be all weddinged out by the time it's our turn! I better head over to tennis now... or else I'll be really really late lol (:

*giggle* ... and you wonder why I gave him posting rights here lol (: Some of the following links are from zannah ... go and read her for a bit while I try to stop freaking out lol (: I found something that reminded me of RoboRally ... RoboCode aims to help you learn Java by getting you to program robots to go round killing each other ... looks interesting... go and kill some time playing games over here and here ... as long as you don't go and make some sort of explosion it's all right... ok? I better get some shuteye... *grin*

Um..... yes..... we're engaged, um..... that's about it really.... I don't know what else to say...., but did I mention we're engaged? Work is okish at the moment, but I'm engaged..... Ok, I'll shutup now about being engaged |
|
... I got some news ... Decay and I are engaged! Aaauuuuughhh!!! Ok, that's enough now... I'll calm down soon (: *giggle* To those who knew/suspected beforehand, thankyou for keeping quiet-ish (: For those who weren't expecting it, I hope I didn't freak you out too much (:

Went to see The Forsaken last night with Cheryl and Chantelle and took Decay along too ... we laughed... it wasn't really crap... it wasn't really good... they even had a tricycle in one of the firey bits... Trust Decay to pick up on all the clichés *giggle*... he's doing the buck's day/night thing today for workmate (hi krusty) who's getting married next week ... ok ok ... programming time. Really. I mean it now.
